I just installed Ubuntu 8 on a laptop headed for Costa Rica. I'm figuring that if I put Windows on there I'd be asking for it because out in Mal Pais the bandwidth is crap so it wouldn't be updated and XP would be hacked in minutes without updates.
I didn't want a Mac because it's too pricey so I got an old hand me down Dell laptop and threw on Ubuntu 8.04.
All I can say is WOW is it ever cool, very fast, functional and so far in the past couple of hours it's been totally headache free.
If somebody can put an AOL-esque shell on it, it would save hundreds of millions of old computers from the trash. I think I'm in love, sweet.
Download it, run it from CD to try it out and then put it on some old hardware - you won't be sorry.
Find it here.

can you use it in conjunction with Windows or is that just dumb?
Hope you are enjoying the heat
in Mal Pais.
